<P> The Encoding setting is needed by non-english writers, who uses
 accented letters and other locale specific details, so the target
 document<I> Character Set</I> must be customized (if allowed).</P>
<P> The valid values for the Encoding setting are the same charset names
 valid for HTML documents, like<I> iso-8859-1</I> and<I> koi8-r</I>. If
 you're not sure which encoding you should use, try<I> utf-8</I>. If
 that doesn't work, <A HREF="http://www.iana.org/assignments/character-sets">
this complete (and long!) list</A> should help.</P>
<P> The LaTeX target uses alias names for encoding. This is not a
 problem for the user, because txt2tags translate the names internally.
 Some examples:</P>

<P> If the value is unknown to txt2tags, it will be passed &quot;as is&quot;,
 allowing the user to specify custom encodings.</P>
